A glimpse of China’s fishing militia invading the Philippines’ EEZ. Tens of thousands of such vessels, subsidized by China, operate as proxy enforcers for the Coast Guard and PLANavy. They go around wreaking havoc on sovereignty of other states & marine life alike.

A Chinese “research vessel” operated 19 nmi off Cagayan, North Luzon, an undisputed Philippine province It switched off its AIS & ignored challenges from PCG If this were innocent passage, if it was legitimate research, it would not hide This was not research. This was spying

South Korean coast guards water-cannoned Chinese fishing militia vessels that illegally entered their EEZ. This is exactly what the Chinese goons were doing to us in our own waters. Serves them right.

I’m tired of the claims that China is being “restrained” against Filipino fishermen (after entering PH waters) Remember: Chinese maritime militia once STABBED & KILLED a South Korean Coast Guard inside South Korea’s EEZ Is this your idea of restraint?

China has 11 megadams on the Mekong. They are destroying Vietnam, Laos, Thailand & Cambodia. They control the river and refuse to inform us downstream countries about water flow. Victor Gao called this a Crime Against Humanity. He’s right. So demolish those dams now!

All that light is from Chinese industrial trawlers operating in Argentina’s waters. Argentine Navy monitors them, but cannot eliminate them completely. These fleets stretch for kilometers, overwhelm patrol capacity & keep fishing anyway.

According to China, two coast guard ships water-cannoning a small Filipino fishing boat inside Philippine waters is not just “justified,” but “lawful.” So why expect this insecure little “4000-year-old civilization” to stop ramming its warships into its neighbours’ ships?

Chinese social media users are now flooding platforms like Douyin which is under tight #CCP control—to claim Palawan as Chinese territory. Anyone still pretending not to see #CCP's imperialist agenda to expand beyond its already absurd 9-dash line?

New Chinese structures spotted at Scarborough Shoal, though China said it will remain a nature reserve. Mischief Reef was supposed to be a fishermen's shelter. Look at it now. The first stage of a Chinese military outpost in SCS is usually a promise that it won't become one

Chinese warship orders a Philippine patrol plane to leave "China’s waters." Philippines replied "Review your charts." They should’ve said, "Review your common sense" because these waters are 220 km from Philippines & 1000 km from China Clearly, China isn’t in its right mind
